This new driver uses the saa7115 driver to support the encoder chip as found on those devices. However, some devices are using an encoder called 'gm7113c' which is not supported by the saa7115 driver present in older kernels. A fix was found this year by Jon Arne Jørgensen and it's included in v3.11 or later. If you have any chance to test a v3.11 or later kernel, please report let me know if this is your problem or there's something new going on. Also, if you can crack open (carefully) your easycap and check the encoder is gm7113 then that confirms you need either a newer kernel or request Ubuntu people to backport the fix (it's really very easy).
